Only once a day though. The impression I get is that people are treating it like they are on holiday, and just carrying on as if nothing has happened.

Yes once a day, same as dog walking etc. I doubt anyone is going out for 2 runs in a day, runners don't tend to do that.

Younger people may not be as safe as thought if this is accurate.
28 todayvup to 465 in total
Down a lot and now significantly less than Italy numbers
There may well have been an underlying health problems. I assume so even if it wasn't known.Chloe Middleton: Woman, 21, died with 'no underlying health issues'

There are going to be loads of lorrys round. We have to eat...
There is nothing at all wrong with joggers. Keep 2 metres away and one bit of exercise a day is pretty clear instructions?
So day 25 and the UK is now running at 50% of the Italian deaths at the same stage.
Still awful and it could get a lot worse but the trajectory seems to be different.
Much worse is to come undoubtedly, but hopefully at least the trends are different.

Seems to be a “that’s my space” mentality with many joggers.
Also lots of reports of inconsiderate runners not respecting safe distancing.

Although anyone using the term "jogger" should be jailed immediately. ?

I'd say that walkers are the main problem, either walking up the middle of paths, or walking 2 abreast. It's not hard, wLk to one side. And idiots with dogs on extending leads paying no attention to their surroundings.

If you run past someone on a path you are not six feet from them though, unless you have some very wide paths round your way?

If its not wide enough to move to one side when walking for a runner to go past, its not wide enough to pass another walker going the other way. A six foot wide path is pretty common, plenty of room to pass if everyone moves to the sides.

Strictly speaking the gap should be six foot, not the path, so for two people to pass safely the path needs to be 6ft plus the width of two pairs of shoulders, so near to ten feet, I doubt that’s the average path width.

So two walkers shouldn't be passing then, or does it only apply to runners?
People running are pedestrians, and have as much rights to the pathways as those who walk. Both groups have dicks who don't abide by the rules, or are unaware of their surroundings.

On narrow paths nobody should be passing I suppose if you are strict about, when I walk my dog if I see an elderly person I cross the road, only fair.

When I'm out running I do the same, I cross the road if I see anyone in front of me who I don't think I can give a wide swerve around, and today I ran up the middle of the road (a benefit of fewer cars being around) as people were walking 3 abreast down paths. Mostly though people were alert and keeping to the sides.
I have deliberately chosen a route where I do have wide paths, a lot of them around here are easily 6 foot wide with grass verges probably another couple of feet wide, so a lot of room if you plan a route beforehand.
The same goes for anyone out walking a dog, keep to wide areas and keep alert, there is room for us all.
Hopefully (although clearly awful for the family in this case obviously) otherwise it opens up whole new possibilities, none of them good.

As far as getting exercise goes, I've got a pedaling device which sits on the floor. You literally sit on your sofa and just pedal it with your feet. You can also put it on your lap and use your arms to pedal it. I've got good muscles in my lower legs and arms. It works a treat. Not bad for £25 quid.

Has anyone checked on Jamie Mackie?
His family must be fed up of the shirt tugging at lunch time, the chirping when he someone spills a drink and general excitement in the household. A cure for COVID-19 can't come soon enough.
After all. There are only so many times he can go on the naughty step...
